Castel Faglia

The company’s name originates from the castle of the ancient owner Faglia, set on a hill of morainic origin at 300
metres above sea level, with vine-clad terraces. Thanks to it’s perfect exposure to the rocky earth and microclimate, a very
unique grape is obtained because produced in an environment with incomparable features. The area is exposed to continental climate,
which alternates to a mild mediterranean climate, with the consequence of temperature leaps which frequently cause rough summer hail
storms.

The selection of grapes to be used for the production of Franciacorta is of basic importance to Castel Faglia. As a matter of
fact Castel Fagliagathers it’s grapes not from huge vineyards, but from small plots of land farmed as precious little
gardens, resulting in the developement of grape bunches with different aromatic features.Castel Faglia vineyards, spreading
out to about 17 hectares, as a Franciacorta policy, are solely composed of Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Pinot Nero vine
varieties.

The Art and it’s Values

Castel Faglia

During grape harvest, the grapes undergo a strict selection before being pressed: only the best grape bunches are picked and set
in specific crates. In Castel Faglia there are very strict rules applied to the pressing procedure: only the must resulting
from the very light and soft pressing is kept to produceFranciacorta. When pressing is finished, the must is separated
by each field, and follwing is the alcoholic fermentation in small wooden barrels.

After the first alcoholic fermentation, the young wines are preserved with much care: this is a very delicate and fundamental moment for the
future of our new wines, and we put in our best effort to avoid any risk that a year of work may be compromised. In springtime the
oenologist tastes and evaluates through his expertise, the cuvée of the whole harvest so to put them together and proceed with the
bottling. During this phase, when the wine is still settled, sugars and selected yeasts are added and it is then sealed into the
typical champagnebottle. The bottles are followingly stacked up in horizontal position in the cold cellars, this is
where the refermentation takes place, meaning where the fermentation produces the natural effervescence.This phase, first of
fermentation and following of ageinglasts at least 18 months for Satèn and Rosè and several years for millesimato.

Once this long phase of ripening is finished, a sediment forms inside the bottles, which must be removed in order to enjoy the
brilliance Franciacorta wine. Through a procedure of freezing the bottle neck, where you have the concentration of sediment
following the remuage process which consists of inclining and rotating the bottles for several days, the bottle is uncorked.
The inner pressure “shoots” out the ice formed at the mouth of the bottle together with the sediment.

At this point of the long process in producing Franciacorta, in some cases the bottles are adjusted with an extra dose of
sugar, then topped up and permanently plugged with a mushroom cork with wire cage, then packaged. Only this way, after the
accurate attention for each Cuvèe, the experience of many tastings and the constancy of letting time do it’s work, with such passion will
arise Franciacorta of Castel Faglia with it’s brand Monogram, synonym of quality, sealed in bottles dedicated to the most
expert and passionate of Franciacorta wine.

Tasting

As per all great wines, the tasing of Castel Faglia Franciacorta also requires a specific ritual.

The bottles must be stored in dark environments and low temperatures. Franciacorta must be served chilled at 4/6% and placed in an
ice bucket at the table. In order to appreciate it’s scents the ideal glass is the large sparkling wine stem-glass.
